1- Front Plank<\/h2>\n

The most famous ab exercise, the front plank (also called ventral plank), is a Pilates<\/strong> exercise that helps you achieve a flat stomach<\/strong> while working the deep trunk muscles, including the transverse abdominis and rectus abdominis.<\/p>\n

Posture:<\/u> Lie face down, supporting yourself on your forearms and toes. Keep your legs and torso perfectly aligned.
\nExecution:<\/u> Hold this position for 20 seconds, keeping your stomach pulled in and glutes engaged.<\/p>\n

2- The Vacuum<\/h2>\n

A Pilates<\/strong> exercise for a flat stomach<\/strong> and abdominal toning, the Vacuum is highly effective and easy to perform.<\/p>\n

Posture:<\/u> Lie on your back, arms crossed, and legs extended and spread at a 90-degree angle.
\nExecution:<\/u> The Vacuum is a core-strengthening exercise focused on breathing and concentration. Stay still in this posture for 10 seconds, inhale deeply, then exhale gradually while pulling the stomach in.<\/p>\n

3- Arrow on the Floor<\/h2>\n

A stretching exercise, Arrow on the Floor works the postural muscles, including the spine and abdominals.<\/p>\n

Posture:<\/u> Lie face down, forehead flat on the floor, legs extended, arms along your sides with palms facing the ceiling.
\nExecution:<\/u> Lift your upper body while keeping your back straight. Slightly lift your arms so they extend past your glutes. Hold this position for 1 minute before returning to the starting position.<\/p>\n
